Data collected and managed by Forest Service programs is available in a map service and two downloadable file formats – in a shape file and an ESRI file geodatabase.
Metadata is available that describes the content, source, and currency of the data.
You can filter the list by the topic categories in the menu at the left to help you find information you are interested in.
You can view the feature classes in a single dataset by clicking on the name of the parent dataset at the bottom of the abstract.
More Forest Service map services are available in ArcGIS Online

Shapefile Limitation Warning:
The Enterprise Data Warehouse Team has identified certain technical limitations of shapefiles which
make them not suitable for all datasets within this clearinghouse. Due to file size limits as well as attribute name
length and field length restrictions leading to inevitable data loss, the EDW Team is unable to support
shapefile exports for larger datasets. There are other methods to accessing this data in addition to the Esri File
Geodatabase (FGDB) including the map service or the Geospatial Data Discovery Tool.
Requests for KML/KMZ output
The Enterprise Data Warehouse Team tested exporting out to KML/KMZ files as a deliverable and due to the complexity and size of the datasets this has been unsuccessful.
To obtain a KML file for any EDW dataset, go to the Geospatial Data Discovery Tool and search for the dataset. An option to download to KML is available from that website.

Abstract
Bipartisan Infrastructure Law - Landscape Investments
The Bipartisan Infrastructure Law (a.k.a Infrastructure Investment Jobs Act) and the Inflation Reduction Act include significant funding to execute fuels mitigation projects. Regions submitted proposed project boundaries designed to address community exposure to wildfire. The Executive Leadership Team of the Forest Service selected "Landscapes" for investment in fiscal years 2022 and 2023. Additional landscapes may be selected for future action. This dataset documents the official boundary of the landscapes selected for fuels treatment activities in the Wildfire Crisis Strategy. The public-facing version of these boundaries is called Wildfire Crisis Strategy Landscapes.
Purpose: Wildfire Crisis Strategy Landscapes (a.k.a. National Priority Landscapes or NPL) are boundaries that are used to track legislative investments. They are similar to Collaborative Forest Landscapes Restoration Projects and Joint Chiefs' Projects. Internal users use the Landscapes for project planning and reporting. External users can use this dataset to understand more about Forest Service investment decisions.
